The U.S. federal tax credit for plug-in vehicles maxes out at $7,500 for cars with batteries that are 16 kWh or larger. The Ford C-Max Energi plug-in hybrid doesn’t have that big of a pack, so the most the feds will grant you for buying one is $3,750. Still, the Energi’s just-announced price of $33,745 is competitive in the plug-in space, since most people will end up paying $29,995.
Ford calls the Energi “America’s most affordable plug-in hybrid,” but that would seem to be just barely the case. The $33,745 price includes destination fees. The Toyota Prius Plug-In, with those fees, is priced at $32,760, and it qualifies for $2,500 in federal tax credits, so it comes to $30,260 in the end. That’s just $265 more than the Energi. To make another comparison, the regular hybrid C-Max will cost $25,995, including destination. Both of these Ford vehicles will be available later this year.
The C-Max Energi is Ford’s first production plug-in hybrid and has a 20-mile all-electric range and 95 miles per gallon equivalent rating. If you’d like to build your own Ford C-Max Energi, the configurator website is here.Continue reading Ford C-Max Energi plug-in hybrid priced at $29,995 after tax credit
